Miley Cyrus continues to dominate the chart movement as she closes in on Leona Lewis but the real fear is that the time advantage looks like it may be showing signs of weakness.  The artists present were some of the first to dominate the chart and have enjoyed the compounding factor of the position.  But, as the big name companies funnel the views to YouTube by disabling the embedding function it allows for others to use the advantage and close the gap.  Burnin’ Up does not disable the function and Akon does…  

Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Katie Perry have taken to disabling the embedding function as well however, they still have climbed the charts extremely rapidly starting to make appearances on the first page of the chart but not yet in the top ten.   

We shall see how this plays out in the next two weeks.  

Cheers!

1) Miley Cyrus passed Alicia Keys taking 5th place

2) The Jonas Brothers stepped up from the bottom taking number 9 away from Akon

3) Avril Lavigne stays in the number one spot for music videos but has been shoved to the number 2 slot for all video as The Evolution of Dance reclaims the throne.  

Maybe disabling embedding has played a role?  Look at the two videos with the highest growth, they both allow others to embed.  All the others present on the chart (except Timbaland) disable the embedding feature as we saw just over two weeks ago.
